The DriveTime Automotive Group Inc., based in Tempe, Arizona, is coming to the City of Taylor. It will take over the old Taylor Ford location on Telegraph Road, just north of Goddard. That site was owned by the Ray Whitfield family.

DriveTime sells, leases and finances care to customers with credit issues. The company was formerly known as Ugly Duckling, before being renamed DriveTime in 2002.

It has spun off many companies, includes Carvana, GO Financial, Silverrock Group and Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation. As of 2015, it was in approximately 130 locations in the U.S., with 3,800 employees.

The 2017 cleanup, the fourth annual, is scheduled for 9-11 a.m. on Saturday, April 22.

The cleanup day attracts more than 200 volunteers each year to Heritage Park. Everyone patrols the facility and collects debris. During the initial outing in 2014, nearly 270 volunteers collected entire trash out of the park to fill many, many full truckloads.

Host Dr. Paul Reeves, Mayor Rick Sollars and Karl Ziomek are joined by Chrystal Kermans-Ditzhazy and Guido Ulin to discuss the rollout of the new Indoor Baseball Center inside the Taylor Recreation Center.

Today's podcast focuses on the rollout of the City of Taylor's all-new website. Included in the discussion are host Dr. Paul Reeves, Director of Communications and Marketing Karl Ziomek and Mayor Rick Sollars.
